...few had WWII experience. Never a dull shift in a quiet tower listening to their tales and banter...
I always said that every ATC Tower should have at least one old "hairy" in Post. Then when the New Duty Instructors started shooting their lines (to impress our baby Controllers, particularly those of the smaller, shaplier and sweeter-smelling variety), we could chip in with: "
Come off it, Sonny ! I was roaring round the skies when you were crapping in your nappy ! I've Been There, Done That - and I'm not having any of your old bull round here !"

MPN11,
Of course ! I'd put my reply to FED on this - the wrong - Thread. Fixed It.
Thanks nevertheless !
Danny.
